The establishment of the Office of eGovernment reflects a new direction in progressing strategic issues in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) across the Tasmanian Government. The Office replaces the Inter Agency Policy and Projects Unit (IAPPU), Department of Premier and Cabinet.

One of the major actions to support the ICT Strategy is to implement a common approach to data centre/storage. The next steps for Tasmanian Government data centres and managed services is to stabilise existing facilities and services. Short term activities are to meet immediate data centre and manage services needs and facilitate future transition. The development of a business case will determine medium term data centre and managed services requirements.

Stats Matter is a long-term, whole-of-government strategy designed to build government statistical assets and capability. The Department of Treasury and Finance and the Department of Premier and Cabinet are working in partnership with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) to develop Stats Matter.
